Rink scores for all games in this event
Cabramatta V Osborne Pk Saturday 2011
All scores and stats for Friday- Saturday 2011
Day One 2011
Roundup of day 2 2011
The carnival is over and lets hope it can continue for the years ahead. While only fours sides competed it was a sensational series that have left a lasting impression on West Australians that came to see the best of the best in action and the boys from the East didnt let us down.
It shows there is very little difference in State Pennant competitions
when we look at the results.
The powerful Cabramatta Club won the event by the narrowest of margins from Osborne Park who left no doubt the W.A Club is one of the strongest Clubs in Australia.
3rd placed Helensvale were a fraction off off winning this event
Lasting memory for me is the brilliance of Mark Casey who has every shot in the book including a couple we dont know about. He gave the most impressive performance in a high quality competition. A genuine Superstar
Ryan Bester is a player I have never seen play, he has got everything including the kitchen sink, a real top rater.
John Goddard continually impresses and has the record to back up his standing in the game.
David Holt is another who while playing a mainly conservitive game is all quality.
Brett Wilkie is a magnificent drawshot and that was on display for all to see.
I could go on and on but there are too many to mention.

Last year there were six sides involved, due to Victoria and Tasmania having already started their pennant season they were not able to send a side this year. Lets hope this exciting competition to find Australia's best pennant side can be arranged to allow all States to be represented in future

N.S.W side Cabramatta have some brilliant players who have plenty of International experience, names such as Peter Bellos, Rowan Brassey, Mat Gallop Ryan Bester and David Holt says a lot as to why the side has won the N.S.W Premier league title in 2009 and 2011, this side will be a very difficult team to beat,
